When did cave painting finish?

Cave painting is not tied to a specific end date, as it varied across different regions and cultures. Most of the well-known prehistoric cave paintings, such as those in Lascaux, France, date back to around 17,000 years ago, while others, like those in Chauvet Cave, are even older. By the end of the Upper Paleolithic period, around 10,000 BCE, cave painting had largely diminished, though similar forms of artistic expression continued in various cultures throughout history.
